Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Absence Of Newspapers Slowed Big City's Life NE ree eronRRON Many people do not realize how much they rely on newspapers until something happens to make news- papers scarce or unavailable. A little while ago Detroit was with- out its major daily papers for nearly a month, as the result of a strike. What did this mean to Detroit? One answer was given, a couple of days before the strike ended, by Mar- tha Griffiths, who represents the 17th district of Michigan in the state leg- islature. She expressed her thoughts in a speech to the House of Repre- sentatives, thus: "Today, Detroit has been with- out a daily newspaper for 26 days. Do you know what it is like to live in a great metropolitan city without a daily newspaper? I'll tell you. It is not just that we don't know who the new president of Columbia is; we don't even know Kaline's batting average ... We have no idea whether to buy or sell . . . Politics is hot in The Balance Social Credit Leaders Thompson and Caouette have been doing a lot of talking since Monday's election, but stripped of political fooferaw what they have been saying is this: "We will hold the balance of power in the House of Commons, and the Conserv- atives had better listen to us if they don't want to be forced into an early election." Mr. Caouette underlined. the warning, not too subtly, when he pointed out that in Quebec at least party funds were supplied by the "creditistes" themselves -- the peo- ple who subscribe a few dollars for party membership. Mr. Thompson said that "we will co-operate with the government on any legislative program which is Can- This Riding's s Riding While most of the Conservative cabinet ministers were fighting for their political lives -- and in some cases losing -- Michael Starr did not have much trouble in Ontario riding. He did not repeat his overwhelming performance of 1958, but that was a landslide year; this time, there was a different political climate. None- theless, his majority was a comfort- able one. A study of the results, poll by poll, shows that Mr. Starr drew his support from all sections of the rid- ing, from urban areas aS much as from rural districts, from industrial workers as well as business and farm communities. When one considers the election performances of most of his colléag- ues, one cannot help but think that Michigan this year and we don't know what the candidates are saying about each other. If you die in Detroit, the undertaker attends the funeral. No- body else even knows your dead. "Concerts and theatres, lectures and picture shows now draw small crowds. Noi enough know what is playing. The great national pastime of shopping has slowed down. No ads to lure customers. Thus the business cycle slows; the possible jobs in other fields diminish 'and you can't look in the help wanted columns if you are out of a job. No paper. There is one business, though, that the lack of newspapers has helped -- murder and its allied criminal activities . . "The welfare of the business com- munity, management and workers a- like; the social and intellectual life; the safety of the citizens depend to a far greater degree than you think upon daily newspapers." Of Power ada's interests in view of our current national position." That means of course, a program which is "in Can- ada's interests" from the Social Cred- it viewpoint. And that can be a pretty odd viewpoint, How Mr. Diefenbaker handles the challenge remains to be seen. It's likely that Mr. Caouette will be much more of a problem than Mr. Thomp- son; many of the Socred contingent from Quebec have promised to make big fusses in Parliament. It's always possible that the Liberals or the New Democrats or both will find it con- venient to help the Conservatives squelch the Socreds at times. Whatever happens, we shall get a demonstration of the fundamentals of minority government. Result Mr. Starr's showing should give him an even stronger voice in Conserv- ative councils. As a cabinet minister, Mr. Starr had to be away from the riding a good deal of the time during the elec- tion campaign. His opponents did not take unfair advantage of that fact, and avoided making personal attacks that he could not answer because of his absences. The campaign was often lively, but it was never dirty -- des- pite the effort of one Toronto news- paper to create the impression that @ near-riot had occured at one meet- ing. Our congratulations go to Mr. Starr for a victory well won, and to his opponents for a hard but honor- able campaign. Poll Totals Delayed Complete election returns for On- tario riding were not available until one o'clock Tuesday afternoon, 17 hours after the polls closed. Signif- icantly, some of the late polls were also the smallest; most of the heavy polls were among the first to report. The wholly inexcusable delay was not the fault of the returning officer, Mr. Harry Jermyn, who had establish- ed a good headquarters in Whitby.

Then came the slowdown. The blame must be placed square- ly on a minority of deputy returning officers and scrutineers, people who either were grossly incompetent or chose to ignore the fact that their first responsibility was to the return- ing officer and not to some political committee room. In the next election, we hope that every effort will be made to employ deputy returning officers who can count accurately and report promptly -- to the right person, the returning officer.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The new towns of England and Wales have proved to be one of the nation's most profitable investments, apart al- together from their social value in eliminating over-crowding in industrial areas and providing modern, well laid-out houses for hundreds of thousands of people. There are now twelve of these new towns in England and Wales, and in addition to being "out of the red', they have en- joyed in their accounts a big in- crease in the value of their land which has not yet been utilized for building. The Town and Country Plan- ning Association, in its official journal, Town and Country Plan- ning, gives a progress report, in which it declares: "This financial success is not generally recognized. New towns are the nation's most profitable investments, combining security of income with sure prospect of , growth -- gilt-edged blue chips." The surplus earned on these new developments runs to a total of over $1,500,000. VITAL STATISTICS In addition to the 12 new towns in England and Wales, there are three in Scotland, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The new pavilion at Lakeview Park was completed and offi- cially opened. A three-storey addition to the Oriental Textiles Company was announced by R. W. Milli- champ, president of the com- pany. South Simcoe School was pre- sented the Dr. Kaiser Shield by T. B. Mitchell, chairman of the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion, for proficiency in fire drill, Building permits for $530,000 issued in one week included a new General Motors head office building, the "Knox Presbyter- ian Church and an apartment house on Simcoe street south. H. L. Broomfield headed a committee to plan a_ two-day program for an_ all-important local celebration of the Dia- mond Jubilee of Confederation on July 1, A large addition was com- pleted to the Oshawa store of the F. W. Woolworth Company. City council voted a grant of $2500 for celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confedera- tion. i William Harmer, president of Oshawa Industrial Softball League and also of the Juvenile League,, officiated at the offi- cial juvenile opening at Alex- andra Park. Splendid progress was being made with the new LaSalle building of General Motors on Division street. The Oshawa Railway Com- pany moved into its new freight sheds, removing all freight ear traffic from Athol street. Mrs. F. J. Maxwell, Mrs, J. C, Young and Mrs. C, R. Crozier of St. Andrew's United Church, were named dele- gates to 'attend the United Church Women's Missionary Society. annual convention. making a total in all of 15. In these 15 towns, some 360,000 peo- ple have been housed, and they now have a combined popula- tion of 494,000. The number of new homes built is around 13,-, 000, and they are serviced by 2,103 new stores, 201 new schools housing 103,000 pupils and 504 factories with 86,800 new work- ers. In Basildon New Town, in Essex, the corporation has com- pleted its 10,000th home, and plans for 1962 include the open- ing of a 16-storey block of apart- ments in the town square. Agreement has been reached on a project for a 15-acre of playing fields, with a club house and an indoor swimming pool. ALMOST COMPLETE At Crawley New Town in Sus- sex, the task of developing a town of about 56,000 people is al- most complete. The second phase will provide for natural development to at least 70,000 by 1980. Community amenities are not being overlooked in these new towns. At Bracknell the town now has 115 social groups with adult membership and 50 organ- izations for young people. At Hemel Hempstead, seven full-time youth leaders have been appointed, and youth clubs have a total membership of more than 1,100. At Welwyn Garden City, a new hospital is being completed this year, and suitable accom- modation is being provided for old people with the object of achieving a ratio of five per cent of elderly people housed. Harlow is building a 24-lane bowling alley in the town centre, and in 1962 the central library will be completed, a start made on the second stages of the town hospital and on an 11-storey town hall and telephone ex- change. Progress everywhere is the keynote of the new towns, and it is profitable progress. GALLUP POLL Survey Results Close To Actual Vote Count By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) The seventh national vote re- ported by the Canadian Insti- tute since its inception in 1941 Conservatives Liberals NDP: scias Soc-Cred Other The Poll's final report was based on _ interviewing com- pleted on Wednesday, June 13. Interviewers in towns, cities, and villages across the prov- inces flashed their findings on Wednesday night for final anal- ysis, Findings appeared in member newspapers of the In- Stitute on Saturday, June 16. The Institute has demon- strated its accuracy in suc- ceeding election forecasts, with findings that are well within the normal margin of error to which Sample polling of this type is subject. Officials, how- ever, stress the fact that even though efforts are made to re- duce the margin of error to a minimum by consistently im- proving sample_ techniques, question wording, and quality of interviewing, unknown fac- tors such as weather, turn-out, and last minute switches can still be involved. Pre-election months were characterized by an unusually high undecided segment of the voters, rising to 31 per cent last was again very close to actual voting behavior. With 95 per cent of the polls across the nation reporting,. the following is the Gallup Poll figure, com- pared with actual vote Final Gallup Report 36% 37.4% 38 36.7 12 13.9 13 11.7 --13 1 0.3 -- 0.7 fall. With the campaign launch- ed, this figure dropped to 9 per cent, a normal situation based on the Poll's Canadian experience. The campaign, this time, was marked by the swift rise of Social Credit in Quebec prov. ince, mainly at the expense of the Liberals. Recurring stud- ies reported by the Poll show- ed Quebec in a state of tur- moil; Ontario with a significant Liberal lead, and the West fairly stable. First indication of a Liberal edge in popular vote was re- ported by the Institute in Sep- tember, 1960, a lead which has been maintained in vary- ing degrees ever since. Final weeks narrowed the spread 'be- tween Conservatives and Lib- erals, as voters turned to the splinter parties. The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion is now affiliated with similar Institutes in 35 other countries. There are no Gallup Polls in any Iron Cur- tain area.

OTTAWA REPORT Bureau Profiles Hotel Business By PATRICK NICHOLSON As we swing into what is hoped will be a record season for our tourist business, details of the operations of our hotel industry have been compiled here for the year 1960. This shows that 5,294 hotels, offering 155,538 rooms with a bed capacity for 288,007 per- sons, took in over half a billion dollars: $545,457,000, or an in- crease of 5.4 per cent over the previous year. ' For the purpose of this study, a hotel is described as an es- tablishment having six or more rooms, providing lodging alone or lodging and meals for transi- ent guests. Some of these establishments enjoy a licence enue from the sale of Hquor; 22.2 per cent from the renting of rooms, and 18.1 per cent from the serving of meals. In contrast with this national av- erage, the hotels in P.E.L, ; which do not enjoy liquor il- ; cences, earn no receipts from ; the sale of beer, wine and spir- its, and their chief source of } revenue is renting rooms (51.2 to sell beer, wine or liquor; these outnumber the non-li- cenced hotels about 3 to 1. Some are seasonal, being open only for part of the year, and these would include hunting or fishing lodges, ski chalets, dude ranches and resort hotels, COSTLY PAYROLL Our hotel industry is a sub- stantial provider of jobs. Its payroll in 1960 amounted to $137,838,000; in addition it cre- ates jobs on the farm and in food-processing plants by sell- ing meals priced at $98,641,000 as well as alcoholic drinks priced at $283,223,000. The average Canadian hotel derives 51.9 per cent of its rev- YOUR HEALTH 4-Year-Old Still Requires Diapers By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My 4%- year-old son is still in diapers at night. He has been trained, so far as daytime goes, since he was 2%, and occasionally will stay dry all night, some- times several nights at a time, but this condition never lasts. These "dry nights' usually occur when I have given him a strong incentive, either a bribe or a threat, usually the former. He wants to "be a big boy," but it doesn't seem to bother him that his younger brother, 2%, is dry all night. MRS. A.B. Here are four suggestions. 1. I know of an instance in which the youngster was told that the diaper service was be- ing stopped: "Say goodbye to the man. This is his last trip." The boy didn't need diapers after that, but as long as they were available, he used them. 2. Restrict fluids after 4 p.m. 3. If still no success, go the other way. Urge fluids after 4 p.m., in an effort to develop bladder control. You'll have to get him up, say about 11 p.m. or midnight. Measure the vol- ume of urine to show the in- crease in amount as he gets better control. He should achieve 10 to 14 ounces. When he gains the ability to go part of the night with a lot of fluid, it should not be difficult for him to: get through the whole night when you go back, for a time, to restricted fluids in the after- noon. 4. Make sure, by having a urine examination, that there is no kidney infection or other de- fect. Dear Dr. Molner: I enjoy us- ing one of these new coated PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Partial strip-teases are com- mon these days, what with Many women wearing short skirts. and laboriously wiggling out from under steering wheels of low-slung cars.

MRS. M.R. There's no harm in ordinary use of such pans. Overheat them and you will disturb the coating which will make the food t&ste so bad you can't eat it anyway. So use your pan with confidence and care. Dear Dr. Molner: What are the Symptoms men go through in the change of life? I say men go through the change and my friend says they don't. MRS, B.M. Neither of you is entirely right or wrong. All women who reach middle age go through the change, usually between age 45 and 50. Not all men do. Why this difference? In women, the ovaries cease func- tioning, which prevents further child-bearing. This also disturbs the supply of hormones which for years have been provided by the ovaries, and it takes a moderate time for the body to readjust to this jdifference in hormone supply. Men don't have ovaries. Neither has nature found it wise to establish any particular time of life at which parenthood should cease for the male. It is true that sometimes, along around 50 or so, some men experience some altera- tion in hormone production. They may suffer from depres- sion, restlessness, feeling of in- security, even hot flashes, but there's some dispute over whether this should rightly be called a "change of life," a glandular or more likely a psy- chological disturbance. The dur- ation varies too much to say how long it lasts, but if severe it can be eased and shortened by medical attention. It is not a consistent or predictable situa- tion in men as it is in women. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a scaly, itchy scalp. Three months ago I went to a doctor and he thought it was an allergy. Now I notice my husband and four young children have scaly, itchy scalps. Could it be some- thing contagious? MRS. E.B. It certainly could. One of the several varieties of ringworm would be a possibility. Scoot to a_skin specialist.

At the other end of the scale comes Saskatchewan, whose ho- tels earn a whopping 69.5 per cent of their revenue from licenced beverages. The survey covers hotels of all different sizes, ranging from 1,204 hotels each with 10 rooms or less, up to our 12 immense hotels each with 501 rooms or more. There are 17,304 of these rooms in cabins; 138,234 in hotels. On average, the room occu- pancy rate is a_ surprisingly low 51 per cent. If you are stuck for a bed for the night, your best chance of obtaining it would be in a small year- around licenced hotel, with be- tween 11 and 25 rooms, in Que- bec; in such hotels the average room occupancy is only 28 per cent. Your worst chance of get ting a room without a reserva- tion in advance would be in a with between 200 and 500 rooms, and a liquor licence, in British Co- lumbia. They enjoy an unusual 91 per cent room occupancy. GRAVY ON THE MENU This survey, prepared by our indefatigable Dominion Bureau of - Statisties which analyses everything we do from the cra- die to the grave, is a "must" reading for anyone planning to go into the hotel business. For instance, it would warn against operating a seasonal non-licenced hotel in Quebec, whose earnings hit a national low of $500 per bedroom per year. And it would indicate the possible examination of the field for a year-around licenced hotel in Nova Scotia, whose earnings for bed and bar aver- age a whopping $4,000 per bed- room per year. This places Nova Scotia in a preferred po- sition, with the "bluenoses" just edging out Saskatchewan's purveyors of "red eye." A recent report by another federal government department shows that of some 1,500 hotel companies, one - third showed a loss on their last year's op- eration, while together they earned profits of $14,000,000 on assets of $300,000,000 and gross sales of $263,000,000. That's no royal road to riches. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 22, 1962... Samuel! de Champlain, Father of New France, first landed in Canada 359 years ago today -- in 1603.
